Fanaa

Jaipur - inside movie house
Originally uploaded by mischamac.

In Jaipur we visited India's most ornate movie house, "Raj Mandir". Not only was the theater amazing, but we loved the bollywood film that was playing.

The movie is called "Fanaa" and was an epic 4 hours starting with a love story between a Delhi tour guide and a blind singer. After the intermission it evolved into an action thriller in the Kashmir mountains, and then a long mystery as the characters slowly realized how they were connected. Of course we missed the intricate details as the movie is in Hindi, but there was enough clues to figure most of it out.

The inside of the theater looks like a giant meringue cake with shaped walls and colorful lights. Its absolutely huge and the crowd was boisterious. And throughout the rest of our trip in India we kept hearing the catchy songs from the movie.
